It’s summertime and the weather isn’t the only thing that’s hot this week. Snook at the Sebastian Inlet and at Port Canaveral have been on fire.

My anglers have landed a dozen fish over 38-inches in the past few trips either a 41-inch giant leading the catches.

Live baits have been best in the daytime with Menhaden, Pilchard, and Croaker being the top three that the snook have been eating.  

We’ve landed a few fish around some of the shore wrecks as well when dropping live baits down on them.

Tarpon and King mackerel have been the other two species that we’ve been catching while slow trolling Menhaden in the 15 to 40-foot depth outside of Canaveral. Most of the kings have been small this week -less than 20 pounds.

The tarpon have been a lot bigger this week than they have in the previous weeks with most of the fish in the 115 to 140-pound range

We’ve also had mullet running up the beach, which usually signals the main portion of the tarpon run is here. As these Bait fish move north, the tarpon will feed on them in the surf zones and once we get our first Tropical depression swell these mullet will normally turn and head back south, which is the beginning of the late summer early fall mullet run

This is one of the most exciting times of the year and one of the busiest for my charter business.

If you’re interested in getting involved in the Mullet run, you can go to my website www.finelinefishingcharters.com and book your trip on my secure reservation page.

The best action usually starts during the last week of August through the second week of October. This is when you will want to book at least one and possibly multiple excursions to hit the main part of the run.

Let’s go catch your next memory!
